The miracle equation is simple then for City to retain their Premier League status for another year: Win against Palarse on Saturday evening and then pray to the Footballing Gods (and Russell Slade) that they can somehow conjure the 3 points needed to overtake Brighton on the final day of the season. Unlikely but I'm sure that we'll give it a good go... and given all things to be going into the final day of the season not yet mathematically relegated would be quite an achievement With two games left to play & 10 points up for grabs there's still plenty to play for in the ESPL - Div I If @danablu can maintain his 8 point advantage over @Barry Tiger he will be crowned Champion on Sunday - a remarkable achievement considering his recent promotion and his long listed struggles to escape the second tier! A worthy winner he would be! The relegation scrap looked dusted even with the vote in favor of the additional spot. That was until defending champion @william5551 returned with a big 3 points, and is now only 3 points behind @bluescull (despite the heavy penalties for not predicting). William is hoping to avoid becoming the 3rd defending champion in succession to be relegated after winning the Championship.... Despite a hard fought Playoff win last May, @FrankfurterBlue is facing a straight return to 2nd tier and this will be confirmed if he fails to narrow the gap to Bluescull Div II In spite of his high scoring tally, @Masky is not yet assured of his long awaited return to the promised land. Things would have looked better if @mustyfrog had not earned yet another persistent CR last weekend, that meant that only 2 points separate the top 3.... and only 2 will go up! Nail biting stuff. A return to form for @irishbluebird has meant that he has kept pace with the trailblazing Masky and a straight return to Div I is withing touching distance..... The Playoffs are mostly wrapped up but as ever @Oldsparkey remains within touching distance of @taffthefish but probably needs a CS if he's going to have a chance of wrsestling that last spot off Taff! C'mon City!
2-0 Bluebirds win against Palace. Reid to bury two as NW doesn't pick the hapless Niasse. Well, one can dream.
Well I've looked into my crystal balls, and have decided upon the following: Cardiff City 3 Crystal Palace 1 Camarasa to score.
OK...like CCFC, only a miracle will help me. Need two CSs that no-one else gets so 2 1 to Palace with Morrison getting ours. Going down in a blaze of glory!!!! Blueskull, play fair, eh?
Bit like the old Pierre the Pilot joke - dousing the pubic hair of the naked girl in front of him and throwing a lighted match on to it, saying: - "When I go down, I go down in flames!!!" I'll get me coat.
To be fair Frankfurt I’ve been dropping like a stone the last few months, I fully expect to be relegated, just like our Bluebirds!
A lot of negativity on here. Shall I look to protect my division 1 status or go for a good result? Will consider my position in the morning.
Still in with a shout of staying up and stranger things happened, although I can't think what they are at moment...... Bluebirds 1 Palace 0 . Camarasa.
